In the wake of this, Facebook is pulling out all stops to encourage businesses to advertise on the platform, this week launching its Ads Manager on Android, iOS and the Mobile Web. But the real shock has been the dramatic fall for both Twitter and Youtube, with a loss of 19.9% (to 2318 jobs) and 23.2% (to 1218 jobs) respectively. Twitter's slowing global growth rates in recent quarters has seen businesses enthusiasm for the platform wane with it. Twitter reported it had 255 million Monthly Active Users in Q1 2014, which despite being up 25% year on year, was only up a paltry 6% from 241 million in Q4 2013. Despite a brief surge during the World Cup, Twitter has failed to kick any goals for business owners.
